Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 8: Libourne - Limoges, 200.7k

[Panda Claws]

Not sure about that. Merckx was great in many other ways.

You think that people will just say
"Record of most TDF stage victorie (34) held by Mark Cavendish and other rider(s)" ?

 

[Didinho]

This tractor channeling his inner Remco. It’s in the big bag.

 

[RobertCrawley]

WVA for the win ?

Cant believe Ciccone is dropped ? must be tired

Looks like Jumbo is going for it. WVA said the stage "suited" him.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Abandons. Utterly gutted for him.

I just tuned in and am catching up - Cav crashing out is such a huge bummer. He was having such a good time till now...

Obviously. That has nothing to do with what i said.

"He will always be mentioned in the same breath as Merckx."

Only when most TdF wins are mentioned, and only then.

 

[Elos Anjos]

What's the likelihood of Sagan getting a top 10?

 

[HelloDolly]

Stage finale looks too hard for Philipsen, Jakobsen , etc

Maybe Ewan can manage it as has done very good in MSR

Ewan could be good here. Bini also.

Just need 7 more crashes

"He will always be mentioned in the same breath as Merckx."

Only when most TdF wins are mentioned, and only then.

And if he had 1 win more than Merckx, do you think they would say Cavendish had 6 Tour de France GC wins?

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen tactical masterclass

Soudal knows the tractor cannot win from that group, so obvious they try to get out in front of the peloton.

For sure. They probably could have played their hand better and gotten Alpecin to do more of the hard work.

But they are perhaps starting to worry that they finish with no stage and a second place in gc.

 

[HelloDolly]

MvdP getting ready for the finish

Could be.

True, he was a far better sprinter than Merckx, who would never be part of that conversation

 

[Salvarani]

Jumbo?!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Was that Bernal dropped?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wow go on Dylan

 

[Boehmand]

All of EF just dropped - weird they don't try to keep Bettiol and Cort at the front today

 

[Didinho]

Leader’s team pulling for a sprint stage win. Just let the break go and you have an easy day.
Trying to eliminate sprinters now.

 

[Salvarani]

Was that Bernal dropped?

He let go 3 minutes yesterday as well.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wow Jumbo is going from a long way out. Will Jonas do a pull?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Man keep it up like this and Pogacar is going to have a crack

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Pogi right there as well.
